Enfield no smith mount

[Steamwhistle]

I'm thinking about buying one of those no-gunsmithing scope mounts for my lee enfield no.4 mk1* from frontier firearms, is this a good idea, or should I just pass?

I haven't tried the ATI mount, but if you are decided that you want an ATI, the part where you buy it from Frontier Firearms is a good idea.

S&K scope mount.

Or, a CGN member is making one that seems to be great, his forum name is Gairlochian.

I have the 300/600 battle sight on mine, will I have to remove it? does anyone know how to do it?

IIRC you need to remove it. It's not too complicated. There's a tiny reatining pin on the left side. Punch it out upwards. Then, the rear sight "pivot" can be punched out from the left side to the right. Ideally you want to push down on the rear sight while doing this to prevent the plunger and its spring from exerting too much upwards pressure.

Once the pivot is out, the rear sight comes off, and you pull out of their hole the plunger and plunger spring.

Keep these parts together... in a place you won't forget

Thanks alot, I'll probably put them in a ziploc bag and tape it to the inside of my case. Would hate to lose something like it.

Most of the no-gunsmithing mounts displace the rear sight - ATI, S&K, Armalon. The Cad-Technik doesn't, but it mounts the scope higher, and is a bit more expensive, and I don't think anyone in Canada retails it.
